Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. I am currently pursuing an MBA and working on a project for my studies in which I need your opinions on online purchasing. If you could please take a few minutes to fill out the attached questionnaire and send it back with your thoughts on how online purchasing can be improved, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Sana

Dear Sana,
Great effort and wonderful initiative!
I've seen your MS Word file, and I want to make a very important suggestion to you.
Your document in its current state will NOT get you many responses. Why? Because there's a lot of fiddling, editing, re-formatting, etc., involved. And given that it's a survey, you definitely DO NOT want your respondents to walk away from it.
So, what can you do to make their life easier to help you achieve your goal?
Very simple, really. You've already done all the hard work.
I suggest that you go over to surveymonkey.com and sign up for a free account. Create your survey on their tools. They can also host it for you (but I think that's a paid service). Never mind.
You can also host it on your Facebook page. Then, you distribute that URL wherever you're distributing this MS Word file currently.
And voilà - watch the magic.
When respondents only have to click, click, click, and more click, they'll give you a much higher completion rate. And to top it off, surveymonkey's analytics will give you some wonderful insights too.
So, have fun, and see you over at the monkey's...
Good Luck!

Hi Gaurav,
Yes, I can do it, but the issue is I have local people on Facebook, and they don't use online purchasing. So, my questionnaire is useless if I ask them to fill it. That's why I selected this forum to reach people from multiple countries who definitely use paid online services or would be interested in the future. However, from what I know about my local community, they are only interested in getting free stuff and do not engage in paid online shopping.
If you could fill out my questionnaire, I would be grateful.
Thank you.

Dear Sunnya,
Gaurav could not have expressed my views any better. I have been advising students at CiteHR for ages to do what Gaurav suggested. You do not seem to value respondents' time. Just to help you get your MBA, why should respondents go to all the trouble of downloading your document, fill it up, save it, and then send it back to you?
As an ex tutor/assessor of MBAs, let me ask you a question: What's your intended population and sample size? These are to be addressed to make your study reliable and valid.

Certainly! Here is the corrected text with proper spelling, grammar, and paragraph formatting:
"But I would love to ask if you have any other options for filling out my questionnaire. Local communities here do not prefer online purchasing, and my research focuses on online business and online purchasing, so I need to gather responses from an international online audience. Please suggest any alternative ideas for filling out the questionnaire. I also want to mention that I do not have international friends, etc., on Facebook."

Dear Sunyya,
At the outset, I am sorry for misspelling your name. I am rather surprised that you chose that topic for your research when you do not have proper access to data. Let me ask you why you chose that topic while living in Pakistan where such internet buying is not popular yet. Did not your supervisor advise you? Did you do any literature survey to see what others have done, how, and why in that way?
It is very difficult to advise you without knowing what your university requirements are. However, if you want an international audience to respond to your survey, you have to use a web-based survey.
